Three-car pile-up on my street:
(I suspect someone ahead of them was turning left onto the side street... which happens often, but people don't expect for some reason.)
How handy! There was an undercover cop car sitting there:
(Guy in the middle is a cop, in case it's hard to see the details.)
Whoa, *three* cops! They must have been getting ready to do a safety check, rather than a speed trap:
Also handy: the truck that started leaking fluid all over the street also happened to be towing a trailer of sand (some of which spilled on impact). Plus he had a shovel! Cop was clever enough to use sand to absorb fluid. I'm not sure why he didn't put some more under the front of the truck so that the continuing leak didn't get into the sewer system... unless the sand is to prevent the street from getting slippery? I always thought it was for environmental reasons.
Additional tip: if you're towing a trailer of sand, allow for even more distance in front of you, because the additional weight will take more time to stop.
Update: Truck guy shovelled more sand to absorb stuff under truck. He's waiting for a tow (driving while fluids leaking out probably a recipe for damage to engine), and everyone else has left.
